Exact calculations for the deterministic case show that an allele that is favorable when rare is delayed very little even by a strong barrier; its spread is allowed by a time proportional to log((B/σ)√2S)/S, where B is the barrier strength, σ the dispersal range, and fitnesses are 1:1 + S:1 + 2S. However, when there is selection against heterozytes, such that the allele cannot increase from low frequency, a barrier can cause a much greater delay. If gene flow is reduced below a critical value, spread is entirely prevented. Stochastic simulations show that with additive selection, random drift slows down the spread of the allele, below the deterministic speed of σ√2S. The delay to the advance of an advantageous allele caused by a strong barrier can be substantially increased by random drift and increases with B/(2Sρσ2) in a one-dimensional habitat of density ρ. However, with selection against heterozygotes, drift can facilitate the spread and can free an allele that would otherwise be trapped indefinitely by a strong barrier. We discuss the implications of these results for the evolution of chromosome rearrangements.","lang":"eng"}],"day":"01","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2022-08-18T12:34:37Z","pmid":1,"article_processing_charge":"No","month":"02","status":"public","title":"The spread of an advantageous allele across a barrier: the effects of random drift and selection against heterozygotes","quality_controlled":"1","user_id":"ea97e931-d5af-11eb-85d4-e6957dddbf17","date_created":"2018-12-11T12:08:03Z","oa":1,"oa_version":"Published Version","scopus_import":"1","publisher":"Genetics Society of America","article_type":"original","citation":{"ieee":"J.
